The "Steal' as he was nicknamed in the league, rushed for nearly 700 yards his rookie season.

Mr. Holmes played a memorable 5 seasons in the NFL. After three years with the Bills, he would go on to play for the Packers and the Colts.

While attending John Muir High School during his junior and senior seasons in 1987 and 1988, Darick Holmes was one of the most dynamic running backs in Southern California. He was on a list of all-star teams with the likes of Curtis Conway and Russell White.

His size and speed earned Mr. Holmes the Pacific League Player of the Year, San Gabriel Valley Player of the Year, All-CIF...name it, and Mr. Holmes earned it. ​​​

Production on the field didn't transfer to the classrooms for Mr. Holmes. His journey to the Pros was hard, even difficult, but make no mistake about it, he made it.

After a stint at PCC, followed by Sacramento City College, Mr. Holmes ended his collegiate years at Portland State University.
